smoke Of war, and before we had been raroled
the remnants of my shattered army, began to
preach the reunion of my country DEFY any

HEAT AND MOTION.

These are interchangeable A body in
rapid motion, suddenly arrested produces
high degree of b eat. Meteors or shooting
stars falling throu gh space toward the earth
by the law of grflvitation are arrested by the
resistance of the atmosphere and this produces
the heat that sets them on fire and so makes the
spectacle which is most frequently at
this time OF gear. November is the great
month for me'.eors
This same principle is illustrated when the
mother chasfises the son; the descending
hand suddenly arrested makes high degree
OF heat. '5ence this process is sometimes
called warming him."

Alfred Stone, One of the Crew, Picked Up At
ter sixty Hours of Terrible Exposure.
STURGEON BAY. Wis, Nov. 1.-Up to the ar
rival of the schooner Pomeroy, from Chicago,
which passed through the bay to-day, it was
supposed that not a single survivor was left of
the forty or fifty people on board the propeller
Vernon, which went down off Sheboygan early
last Saturday morning. 1t is now known. how
ever, that at least man lives to tell the tale
of that terrible night on Lake Michigan. The
Pome roy has on board the only survivor, so far
as is known, of the disaster. The name
of the man who has thus been rescued from
death. after he had given up all hope OF
again setting his foot upon dry land. is Alfred
Stone. Of Chicago. one of the Vernon's crew.
He had been in the water sixty hours, exposed
to bitter piercing wind, and without bite to
eat. When the Pomeroy discovered him a

When Stone was picked up there was the

Work of the Electric Current.

Among those who went to Omaha

which Grover the Great and latter
day saint of Jeffersonian simplicity, is
making his princely parade, was II.
Moore Carpenter, the voluble dissemi-
nator Of deHocratic information, and
capacious absorber of campaign funds,
in this bailiwick. Owing to the press
ure Of the situation he was able to OBJ
tain commanding view of the rear
end Of the presidential car, so that he
is now able to give a graphic descrip-
ton OF its ornamentatiOn. While he
was thus feasting and staring intellect
ually at the back door, he became wear
led of his attitude and rested his foot
upon the iron rail of the road bed, Still
later he conceived that the car link
would be an enduring souvenir of the
memorable occasion, and accordingly
feloniQusly, but as it was an act of love,
we cannot say maliciously, laid hand
upon the link, with intent to abscond
and place it among his collection of
bric-a-brac. AS soon as his hand touch
ed the link deadly palor o'er-spread
his face, the muscles convulsed and the
shock sent his glistening tile to the
ground. The gentleman was completely
prostrated-the circuit of presidential
electricity having been complete with
one foot on the rail and his hand on the
link. lie was carried to secluded
spot and one of the faithful being press
ent, took from his hip pocket medicine
case some campaign elixir, which soon
revived the deciple of Jeffersonian
simplicity. Any extravaganza state
ments he may make regarding his in,
terview with the president may be taken
with grain Of allowance, in view Of
these circumstances.

The young man who Is known To DO

hard row to hoe In this world There Is
no encouraging place for him. The door
of preterment, even the door of employ.
ment Is closed against him. The rail

The banker and the merchant are In
league against him, There Is no room
higher up for him In any Of the profess
sions. And In journalism the first
query now raised in the face Of young
man seeking Il footing is not so much
whether he ever drinks to excess rs
whether he ever touches the liquid fire
